Tonnage values are randomised between 75% and 115%. But this does not apply to all ships: I'll say no more as I don't want to spoil, but the answer can be found in "Ship displacements.cfg".
Crush depth values are randomised between 90% to 100% of the rated value (by this I mean the theoretical value determined by the Germans for each type. I'm not sure whether anyone lived to confirm these figures, LOL!).
The boundaries can be changed though if the user so desires.
Note my response applies
only to the files shipped with SH3 Commander. GWX, for example, has its own version of "Ship displacements.cfg" which includes the Aquitania...default SH3Cmdr does not.
